Has anyone had any problems after updating to NK2 after taking the OTA update or via flashing the full tar?

No problems here. I accidentally updated and there were no issues that I noticed thereafter.
How's your battery life and are there any "lag issues"?

It was about the same, but I didn't have stock very long. No lag either. I always close all my recent apps daily to keep as much ram free as possible to avoid slowing down the phone. I ended up getting root about a week after updating to NK2 and running Xnote which is real zippy with a little better battery performance. I started at 100% at 6pm yesterday with moderate usage up until I went to bed and had about 50% around noon today . I've got Battery Monitor Widget Pro installed and it went from 86% to 85% between 11:43pm and 1:23am. Not sure if that's a glitch, but the phone temperature was at it's lowest at 77º. Fast Charging still works great with Xnote so I am able to juice it up quickly just as when I was stock.

My update completed around 4:13 PM Eastern, I'm on the East Coast US. I looked on the HTC site for a 1.91.617.1 changelog; I saw nothing.
However, I now seem able to revieve sms messages, which had been driving me nuts today. They just would not arrive. Could send em successfully though.
Come on guys, there's already threads for this... There's already been several thread removed.

Try it yourself. I have not changed my usage patterns, and the battery is now lasting more than 2X what it used to do.

Did the sot increase or did standby for u?
The update made my bluetooth signal weaker. Than the previous one..with my bluetooth headset. Resulting to more garbling sound..disconnections.. Battery life seems more like the same.
I don't what did HTC improved or has done with this update.. Any changelog??????

I don't know what SOT or dog is.
Prior to the latest update, my phone would be down to about 20% at 24 hrs after a full charge to 100%. This is with light to moderate phone, email and text use.
After the update and with the same usage pattern, it is down to about 80% at 24 hrs after a full charge to 100%. Something has certainly been improved.
One possible negative is that Location is showing as unavailable in the HTC Time and Weather widget after the update. A reboot fixed that.

Agreed, i thought I was imagining it but battery life definitely seems to be a lot better with this update

And it's not a minor improvement! After 36 hrs of light to moderate use, I'm still at 70%. This is a stock HTC 10, btw.
That's very light use there.
70% after 36 hours of usage? I guess you're only using it to see the time? lol
What do you guys think of the huge improvements!

Whats wrong with multi touch? I installed a multitouch testing app on mine and it registers 10 fingers with no issues at all when I move them around and games work perfectly?
Hi all,
Quite noob on Pixel 2 XL, just rooted it with Magisk one month ago; so I'm still on February image.
How can I update to April image without losing anything, please? (Already downloaded the image, btw)
(Directly or with Skipsoft tollkit)
Thanks a lot!

Just follow the guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-xl-t3702418
1. Download the image and adb, twrp image and magisk zip
2. Flash the image without the -w parameter
3. Temporarily boot into twrp, flash the magisk zip and you're done, takes 5 minutes
Can someone say if this fixed the proximity sensor issue during calls?

What kind of issue? Screen not turning off when covered or screen not turning on when uncovered? Either way, I was on a call earlier and it turned on and off fine.

Screen not turning back on when you take the phone away from your ear during a call

I think it's too early to tell the impact of most of those changes in my usage so far. Fingerprint sensor response has improved for me.
The biggest thing I was looking forward to was all the mentions of battery life improvements. Unfortunately battery life doesn't appear to be any better but so far doesn't appear to be any worse. The February and March updates really hurt battery life.

No issue for me. I don't think that's a software issue. I think it's a hardware issue. The same thing happened on my Nexus 5X
I am on my second day of the April security patch and my battery life has gotten much worse. I got it launch day and I have always gotten 5-6 hours SoT for 18 hours off charge and still have 30% battery left. Yesterday I got 3.5 SoT for 18 hours and was at 4% when I plugged it in. I never had any adverse effect of battery life with the monthly patches until now. I havent factory reset since I bought the phone.

No. But we still see teaser posts that some whiz just discovered something that Google and Verizon simply don't know.
It's locked down tight on VZN models.
Have people been able to use the tethering module through magisk on the April update?
for me the initial install of April the battery life was better than March by far, but the next few days definitely doesn't seem much better, so pretty scary how quick the fall off was for the battery life fall off when looking the the battery stats pages. Touch responsiveness is much better, and generally the phone now feels like it should have been from the beginning.

Usually by the end of the day im left with about 15 -20%. Now im to 15% around 5 or 6PM. Battery definitely draining much faster
My battery life has gotten stupidly better. First day was close to 5 hours SOT with 50% battery left at 20 hours off charger(normally would have been 2-3 hour SOT pre April patch). Right now I'm at 2 hours SOT at 75% battery left with 11 hours off charger. Most of my SOT is games(Clash Royale, Final Fantasy Pocket Edition) so it's not like my usage is lite. Though personally I feel as if the patch has gotten my battery life back to how it was at launch before the first patch. I'm thinking some of those carrier optimizations were for Project Fi as that's what I have.
Has anyone updated their 2 XL with the March release of TWRP since the April update hasn't been released? Any issues?

Most twrp users did that the day the Google April update came out. As always, there are always going to be some users that have issues for whatever reason. However, from the majority of things I've read, most users, including myself, have had little to no issues with using twrp :good:
The September update is available A528BXXU1CVH6 should be able to be downloaded from usual sources, samfrew, sammobile. Nice surprise so early in the month this time....

Early updates usually means not many changes at all. I'll skip this one.
exactly, only security update itself

Where to view the changelist i wonder
They usually just give a vague changelog anyway
The only CSC I've seen that has published it so far is ORX (Slovakia)
Notify Update
After this update I lost access to Orange Egypt Band 41. I feel now every update samsung is deliberately sabotaging the phone to reduce its performance. And the update before that they removed the band control app.
EDIT: I was able to get B41 back by resetting APN and turning on and off both SIMs but i don't know if that was a bug or intended or what, but I don't trust samsung anymore.
For me, battery life finally got to an acceptable level after this update. Could be it's not just a security update, but even those are good to have.

Coming from a Poco X3 NFC with a 5160 mAh battery, I expected the A52s' 4500 mAh battery to last at least a full 24hrs, but on some days I barely got over 14 hours, which was hugely disappointing. Right now I'm at 20hrs, just over 4 hours of screen time and 35% still left, which is much better than before - even acceptable.

I don't do a lot of heavy things on my phone, Last charge I got 2 days 9 hours out of it with 7.5 hours sot. And thats with the S21FE rom installed at the moment. Mostly things I do are tiktok, play poker, internet stuff, play a 3d snooker game also and other light games... listen to music, lots of chat with whatsapp, messenger, and keeping up on things in telegram. I have a lot of apps in the deep sleep mode also.

i was about to ask the same question,
the battery drain is extremely insane dude,
on android 12 my battery would last for 7-10 hours and now after upgrading to android 13 it barely lasts for 1-2 hours,
I'm downgrading back to android 12
My update never gave me android 13. Still on A12, it was just a security update for me.
